Federal Minister for Education Shafqat Mehmood was petitioned by students on social media to order the resumption of online classes instead of on-campus ones on Monday.
As primary schools and universities limped back to normalcy and opened after a nearly thee-month gap on Monday, several students took to social media to urge the minister to do away with on-campus classes, after he said that online ones were not substitutes. To those universities who are still not opening despite government permission, I have this to say; Online lessons however good are no substitute for on campus classes. Also interactions in the university mould social behaviour. They should reconsider, he tweeted.
